Rear Window Washer/Wiper
The controls for the rear
window washer/wiper are
located on the end of
the turn signal/multifunction
lever.
9(Off):Move the lever to this position to turn the
rear washers/wipers off.
Z(Rear Wiper):Move the lever to this position to
turn the rear wipers on.
=(Rear Washer/Wiper):Move the lever to this
position to wash and wipe the rear window.
Cruise Control
Your vehicle may have cruise control.
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
3-10

The cruise control lever is
located below the
windshield wiper control on
the right side of the
steering wheel.
QRES + (Resume/Accelerate):Push the lever up to
resume the cruise control speed, or to accelerate
when passing another vehicle.
JON/OFFq:Press the button on the end of the
lever to turn the cruise control on. Press it again to turn
cruise control off.
RSET — (Set/Coast/Decelerate):Push the lever
down to set the cruise speed. If the cruise speed
is already set this position can be used to coast or
decelerate from a higher speed.CANCEL
R:Pull the lever to cancel the cruise control
speed.
Cruise control allows a speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more to be maintained without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. SeeTraction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again.
3-11

Setting Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
1. Push the button at the end of the cruise control
lever to turn the cruise control on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
3. Push down on the cruise control lever and release
it. This will set the speed in cruise control.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.This symbol will appear on
the instrument panel
cluster when the cruise
control is set.
This symbol will disappear when the brakes are applied
or the cruise control is cancelled. It will reappear
when the set cruise speed is resumed.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then
the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off.
But the cruise control does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more, the cruise control lever can be
pushed upward toward the plus (resume/accelerate)
position to return to the preset cruise speed.
The vehicle will return to and stay at the preset cruise
speed. If the cruise control lever is pushed up and
held toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position, the
vehicle speed will increase until the lever is released or
the brakes are applied. Do not continue to hold the
lever in the plus (resume/accelerate) position, unless a
faster speed is desired.
3-12

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Push up on the cruise control lever toward
the plus (resume/accelerate) position, then
release the lever and take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. The vehicle will now cruise at the
higher speed.
Push up and hold the cruise control lever toward
the plus (resume/accelerate) position until the
vehicle reaches the desired speed. Then release
the cruise control lever. To increase the vehicle’s
speed in very small amounts, push up briey on the
cruise control lever and release it. Each time this
is done, the vehicle will speed up approximately
one mph (1.6 km/h).
The acceleration feature will only work after the cruise
control speed has been set by pushing the cruise control
lever down to the set position.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce the vehicle’s speed while
using cruise control:
Push the cruise control lever downward toward the
minus (set/coast/decelerate) position until a lower
speed is reached, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
cruise control lever downward toward the minus
(set/coast/decelerate) position briey. Each time this
is done, the vehicle will slow down approximately
one mph (1.6 km/h).
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle’s
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed set
earlier.
3-13

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills depends
upon the vehicle’s speed, its load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills, the accelerator
pedal might have to be used in order to maintain
the vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, the brakes
might have to be applied, or the transaxle might have to
be shifted to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed
down. Doing either of these things will take the
vehicle out of cruise. It may be better not to use the
cruise control if the brakes constantly have to be
applied, or the vehicle continuously needs to be shifted
to a lower gear.
Cancelling Cruise Control
To cancel a cruise control session, pull the cruise
control lever forward, or step lightly on the brake pedal.
Doing either of these things will only end the current
cruise control session, but the set speed will be retained
in memory.
Push the button at the end of the cruise control lever to
turn the system off.
Erasing Speed Memory
When the cruise control or the ignition is turned off, the
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
The control to the left of the
steering column operates
the exterior lamps.
9(Off):Turn the control to this position to toggle off
all lamps. This is a momentary control that will spring
back to AUTO when released.
This momentary control will turn the automatic
headlamps and/or the Daytime Running Lamps on and
off for U.S. vehicles. For vehicles rst sold in Canada,
this is only true when the transaxle is in PARK (P).
